"Is this?" Yang Tiexin asked the head of the intelligence department in confusion in front of the courtyard where he lived not long ago.

The section chief did not speak, tied the horse at the door and took the lead in the courtyard. Yang Tiexin followed closely behind the section chief. He had lived here, and of course he knew that the former residents had run away. The more he walked in, Yang Tiexin became more frightened, and even felt his feet were a little weak. Could anyone find the place where his wife's body was buried here?

The two stopped behind a room, and Yang Tiexin tried hard to search the ground, trying to see where there were traces of excavation. He heard from the head of the intelligence department say: "Can Commander Yang recognize the name drawn on the wall?"

Yang Tiexin was stunned. Only then did he notice the graffiti on the wall. Looking at the tender strokes, it should be the children's works. There are paintings and writing in the graffiti. Looking at it, there are three words Bao Xiruo in several places. After reading it carefully for a while, Yang Tiexin asked tentatively: "Is this the clue you found?"

"Yes." The section chief responded, "This is considered a lead. After we got the news, we asked the surrounding villagers and asked the personnel from the drawing department to draw portraits based on the villagers' introduction."

"Didn't you find the corpse that was killed?" Yang Tiexin asked hurriedly.

"This has nothing to do with the corpse." The section chief answered quickly.

Yang Tiexin covered his eyes with his hands, raised his head to the sky, and murmured to himself: "Thank God!"

The section chief wanted to say something, but seeing Yang Tiexin doing this, he felt tears coming out, but he couldn't help but say it for a moment. The section chief, who had wiped away the tears in the corners of his eyes, continued, "Teacher Yang, the sketch portraits of the drawing department should be almost the same. Let's go and take a look."

The drawing departments of the Song army all need to master sketching techniques. In reality, sometimes it is necessary to depict the terrain described by others. After a few moments, some peripheral technologies have been developed. Drawing sketch portraits based on other people's descriptions is one of these techniques. Officers and soldiers who have mastered this skill will be assigned to the public security department after retirement.

At this stage, there are drawing departments and professionals in this field in the hot spring repairing troops. After a trip, the comrades from the Intelligence Department put three sketches drawn by different personnel in front of Yang Tiexin in sequence. Scan the picture with his eyes, Yang Tiexin nodded repeatedly, but said nothing.

"It seems like the person that Commander Yang is looking for?" the section chief asked.

“Very similar.”

"Teacher Yang," even though there was no one in the room, the chief of the intelligence department still lowered his voice, "According to our investigation, this woman is the wife of the Mongolian nobleman Borjijin Haoren. Borjijin Haoren once participated in the war of invasion of the South..."

Listening to the introduction, Yang Tiexin said nothing. The section chief was also not very comfortable, so he could only shorten his speech as soon as possible. "... The villagers said that after the main Mongolian force escaped from Dadu, the woman stayed here with three children. She was escorted to Hebei before she left."

After the story was over, the room fell silent. The section chief wanted to say a few more words, but when he looked at Yang Tiexin's expression, he couldn't speak. Finally, the section chief pushed a document bag and three sketches on the table down in front of Yang Tiexin, and then stood up and left.

When he walked to the door, the section chief heard Yang Tiexin ask, "What you said... that person has been safe, right?"

"Yes. She has been safe." After answering, the section chief saw that Yang Tiexin was silent again. The section chief didn't say much and turned around and left.

Yang Tiexin's mind was in chaos, and various thoughts and thoughts triggered many feelings at the same time. Yang Tiexin felt that he should be happy and his wife was still alive. He could also feel that there was indeed a joy in his heart, but this joy was far from overwhelming other feelings.

The next morning, Yang Tiexin walked hesitantly to the wall of the house. The children's graffiti included fathers, mothers, partners, and puppies. After watching in silence for a while, Yang Tiexin left silently. After leaving the door, Yang Tiexin got on the horse and rushed back to Dadu. The few people who knew the relevant information kept silent. Yang Tiexin did not mention any words to those who didn't know the inside story at all. The round trip back and forth was only more than one day for most senior commanders of the Hebei Military Region. Most of the senior commanders of the Hebei Military Region did not even know that Yang Tiexin had left Youzhou City. When he returned to Youzhou City, Yang Tiexin continued to attend the military meeting as if nothing had happened.

The upper level of the Hebei Military Region has its own work. For the next direction of the offensive, some people suggest that they simply go on two ways and implement the strategy of both east and west at the same time. Li Yun had to tell his basic point of view, "People's energy is limited. Do you think adding a different thing is the energy required to multiply two by two. No, that must be square. The square of two is four, which requires four efforts. Doing three different things at the same time is nine times the effort. We can't do it."

"How can you know you can't do it if you don't do it?" Someone immediately sang a counter-tune.

Li Yun was already very unhappy, and at this moment he couldn't help it. He shouted: "Eat more and eat more, that's the idea of ​​poverty. Because he doesn't have it, he thought the more the better."

When he heard that Li Yun actually used the idea of ​​poverty to describe his comrades, the president of the society looked at Li Yun with a bright look. Zhu Hongwu's eyes were lit. He asked Li Yun happily, "Commander Li, how do you say this idea of ​​poverty."

If Li Yun dares to say this, he will not regret it. He said loudly: "It is because he is not poor. Tell me, before you see Youzhou City, except for not seeing Youzhou City with your own eyes, you don't know much about the situation in Youzhou City."

Zhu Hongwu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "It's well said. The training has told you everything you can, and there are many sketches of Youzhou City. After I arrived at Youzhou City, I just felt that this city was not unfamiliar and familiar."

Many commanders nodded slightly. The pre-war training of the Song army was not a formality, it was a systematic training. Pictures, texts, personnel narrations, and simple sand tables. The more you know about Youzhou, the less likely you will be to be helpless in the battle.

"These are all given to us by others. All we have is the method of learning and how much we can learn. If we regard these as our own things, it would be wrong. Whether we go east to Liaodong or west to desert, we actually don't know what we will encounter, nor how to solve those problems. Since we don't know, we just use all our strength on one thing, but it's not enough. If we do two things at the same time, we will inevitably be in a difficult situation."

"Poor means nothing. Interesting!" Zhu Hongwu smiled and could see that he was very interested in poverty.

"The most terrifying thing about poverty is that we don't know that we don't know. It's a very bad situation. When we are fighting, no one knows that we may die in the battle. An arrow or a bullet may kill us. But when it comes to a real fight, there are still a few people who are afraid of this. But seeing a mountain road that may hide Mongolian cavalry, a few of us don't feel the cold behind us. What scares us the most is probably the commanders under our commanders who don't know how to be afraid of that kind of mountain road."

Li Yun talked about the problems that senior commanders have to face, and most of the senior commanders really understood this standard. Just when they felt convinced, Li Yun continued: "But we know that others are not reliable, but we often don't know that we are not reliable in many places. This is because we are poor in our hearts. Like everyone else, I have come from this road, so we feel that we must first get rid of our hearts poor. That is to clearly know that we don't know."

Yang Tiexin also understood this truth, but while he understood it, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and clenched his fists. For a few days, he knew that he didn't know how to face his wife Bao Xiruo's current situation, but Yang Tiexin just didn't have the courage to face the status quo.

In the past, Yang Tiexin knew that his wife Bao Xiruo was kidnapped by the Mongols. He wanted his wife to return to her side, but Yang Tiexin joined the army without hesitation. It was the war that made his wife stolen, so he used war to take back his wife.

When listening to the school teacher talk about the principle of "carving a boat and seeking a sword", Yang Tiexin also believed that the world was changing, and the guy who carved a boat and seeking a sword was wrong, and even needed to be ridiculed. The world kept changing, and the Song army changed from an army of cold weapons to a army of hot weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the Song army has changed from not as good as that of the Mongolian army to being able to overwhelm the Mongolian army. Now Yang Tiexin needs to adjust his mentality and ideas based on the ever-changing status quo, and maintain the previous mentality and view of fearing the Mongolian army, which is a mistake of carving a boat and seeking a sword.

Yang Tiexin firmly believed that his wife was waiting for him in a distant place. As long as he remained single, the once broken family could be reunited when he took back his wife. The Song State, Mongolia, Song Army, and Mongolian Army were all constantly changing. Yang Tiexin believed that it was all someone else's business. Until the evidence confirmed that the wife had undergone abducted, a huge change occurred, and Bao Xiruo had become someone else's wife and became the mother of other people's children.

Yang Tiexin, who had to face this reality, felt the great pain from the heart. The pain from the heart made Yang Tiexin unable to escape, unable to speak, unable to open his eyes, or even unable to breathe. It was not until he pressed his hand hard on his shoulder that Yang Tiexin could barely be liberated from his inner state. Before he opened it, it turned out that Li Yun was standing beside him. Li Yun was not angry or contempt. The thirty-year-old general had only sympathy in his eyes. But this sympathy was exactly what Yang Tiexin could not accept the most. He reluctantly stood up and said hoarsely: "I'll take a leave."
